two,

The very uneducated and the very educated both tend to be more liberal in their voting patterns than those that have received a moderate level of formal education.

Can this be inferred by statistical analysis of economic status from the highly trustworthy 'exit polls'? Perhaps we should suggest this is an assumption of the very same people being critiqued :-)

I would like to see it broken down by major. I will assume that the majority of advanced degrees in liberal arts schools vote democratic and from experience that the majority of engineers and practicing scientists (as opposed to academics) vote republican.

Professionals are also divided - business & medical doctors = republican, lawyers and other medical professionals = democratic.

Large inherited estates & service via State Dept = democrats. Self-made wealth & service via Military = republican.

etc

Although I live in a red state, I used to live in Washington State and Mass and think these assumptions could hold.

ps My metro area has more Phd's, MD'd and Masters graduates per population than any other metro (populations 1 million or more). Its a red state, but Duke, Chapel Hill and other colleges tends to make for some blue counties. However the suburbs - where all the non-Academic scientists live - are deep red.
